pumpkin.heim 9 Posted November 24, 2012 I had a fairly decent thanksgiving dinner. I spent the better part of two days cooking so by the time the actual meal came around I was pretty bored of it. I am excited to start my journey this year and see how next Thanksgiving is going to turn out! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BeeKipp 33 Posted November 24, 2012 YAY!! I just made my appointment for December 10th!! I'm very excited but nervous at the same time. I am so committed to this but I'm afraid it will turn out like every other weight loss attempt. Am I alone? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am so committed to this but I'm afraid it will turn out like every other weight loss attempt. Am I alone? I can't speak for everyone else...but I am can definitally say from my point of view that you are not alone. I have had those very same thoughts. I keep telling myself that this time will be different...Positive self talk and all that...I am new to this site but I can tell you that I have found it easy to stay motivated and reassured that this will be the last time I will be over weight. 1 BeeKipp reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nicolemm 24 Posted November 24, 2012 Does anyone know the rules on coffee and preop diet? I start mine on Wednesday for Dec 12 surgery. It's food-based, not liquids. So 1,000 calories a day...8oz lean Protein, 2 fruits, 2 veggies, etc. I'm seeing my surgeon Tuesday for my preop appt but want to start the diet Monday since its the beginning of the week. And if coffee is a no no it's going to be hard! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
